Wow. That's some explanation. Thanks.

Do you use "rainbow brackets"?

This example is first hit I found: https://kristofferc.github.io/OhMyREPL.jl/latest/features/ra...

Such an obvious idea once you see it. Wish I had syntax coloring and rainbow brackets when I coded LISP for hire.

Happy to help.

No. I flash brackets, but I tend to turn off other forms of syntax highlighting. I find it extremely distracting when the syntax highlighter "decides" wrong, and I've become convinced comments at the end of lines like //} to "fix" the highlighter deal with complicated stuff is hurting more than it's helping.

In J language single sided brackets are functions/verbs
